Whenever I try to update plugins using the Jenkins-UI or even downloading them with Firefox I get a 404-error.
I found the following discussions relating this kind of problem to a proxy:
http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/Jenkins-site-down-td4504875.html
http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/Jenkins-download-page-seems-to-be-down-td3520292.html
Unfortunately, these discussion don't point to a reliable solution. Not using the proxy is not an option in our company.
